The renewable energy consultancy willÂ undertake the role for the pre-construction and construction phase of the 50MW Tsetsii wind farm in Umnugovi aimag, Mongolia. Sgurr already has experience of the development, construction and operation of Mongolian wind farms, having previously undertaken a prominent role in delivering the country’s first, Salkhit. That project saw the first new power source connected to Mongoliaâ€™s grid in more than three decades. The Tsetsii wind farm is located in Southern Mongolia, 500km south of the capital city of Ulaanbaatar and 20km south of the Tsogttsetsii settlement. The site comprises of approximately 72kmÂ² of remote, open desert and an isolated mountain location.

Italy-based BM Solar SRL has supplied its BlackMagic power optimizers for a 40 MW solar power plant in Bayan Hot, Inner Mongolia, China.
